What Search Console does
The Search Console reports you get
The same data as Google Search Console, laid out so you can act on it.
Making sense of your Google Search Console data
Google Search Console is the only place Google shows you how your site really performs in search: the searches you appear for, how often you are clicked and where you rank. Its own reports can be hard to read, so Vantage lays them out in plain English.
The four numbers
Impressions are how often your site was shown in Google's results. Clicks are how often people clicked through. Click-through rate is the share of impressions that became clicks. Average position is where your pages ranked, on average, for the searches they appeared in.
How to check your Google ranking
Look at the average position for each search. A position from 1 to 10 is page one; 11 to 20 is page two, close enough to improve. Rankings vary by location and device, so the average over a few weeks is a better guide than searching for yourself, which Google personalises.
Finding the easiest improvements
A search with plenty of impressions but few clicks usually means your title and description are not persuading people; rewriting them can lift clicks without moving position. A search where you sit on page two is often worth a stronger section on the page. The SEO Auditor picks these out for you.
Comparing periods
Choose the last 7, 28 or 90 days and compare with the period before to see which pages and searches are gaining ground or dipping. Google's data runs two to three days behind, so the latest days are left out until they're complete.
Safe to connect, and useful everywhere
Vantage only asks for read-only access, so it can see your search data but never change anything. Once connected, Keyword Ideas, the Marketing Plan and Client Reports use it too.
Three steps
Connect your Google account once.
Pick the website and a date range.
Look at the trend and the top searches, then compare with the period before.
